I had a coworker say cisgender was an offensive word. She is typically very openminded and supportive of the LGBTQ+ community so I was surprised.
Turns out she didn’t know what it meant. She just heard people use it with disdain and assumed it was offensive.
I do not understand other people.
Realizing people repeat things said by other people without taking the time to understand them should help you understand other people a lot.
The people using it with disdain are part of the problem.
I knew someone who refused to look up what words meant. If she didn't know one , she'd guess or infer from context, but never just look it up. I think she had some unaddressed trauma from school or childhood or something
